As a reminder, Microsoft had to go through all kinds of hurdles to acquire Activision Blizzard, due to "monopoly" concerns or whatever it's called.
Microsoft is surely going to continue buying up studios. And when those studios make games, why limit it to Xbox? They own the game and studio, it's literally all profit after that.
The console itself isn't even a revenue stream iirc. Wasn't there a report that said they barely made any money off them, and it was just a way to get people into the Xbox ecosystem
Tldr: buying studios up and the games they make, gives them more money if they don't make it exclusive
